Chapter 128: Pingling
Since sending the letter to Zhang Chong, the priest has begun to organize people, and he will never allow a traitor like Zhang Dog and Donkey to bring unpredictable danger to the great cause of Huang Tian.
The sacrifice grandson has already decided, no matter whether Zhang Chong's side wants to start or not, he will lead people to kill Zhang Gou and donkey.
He was organizing capable people on his side, and suddenly a believer came to report:
"Taishan Zhang Qukui has entered the mansion."
The sacrificial grandson was shocked, but he didn't expect Zhang Chong to come in person, so he hurriedly greeted him with his companions.
At this moment, Zhang Chong brought in Xianguan and dressed as a Confucian student, and was sitting in the hall with his two humming generals eating fruits. Seeing Zhang Chong's leisurely appearance, he didn't fight his grandson, and immediately asked people to remove the fruit.
The sacrificial grandson sat aside and was angry, and Zhang Chong, who had no fruit to eat, said with a smile:
"Senior brother, don't worry. What happened to this donkey, I asked him directly. The sky can't fall. ”
The sacrificial grandson was annoyed and spat out:
"I'm afraid that the blue sky won't fall, and our yellow sky will fall. You must not take it seriously, last time Tang Zhou didn't know what reason he let you go, but this time if the timing of the incident was missed from you, then no one would really be able to save you, and you would have to implicate Master Liang. ”
Zhang Chong looked down and said very seriously:
"So I came in person."
The priest sighed and stopped talking.
Zhang Chong directly asked Zhang what the situation of the dog and donkey is now, do you know where the people are?
Sacrifice to the grandson:
"On my side, until Zhang Dog and Donkey rebelled, he was immediately tracked down. But this man is well protected, and he has been hiding in turn for the first few days, but since yesterday, he has lived in a post house in the city, and has never appeared since. ”
"A post house in the city?"
"Yes, this post house is called Pingling Station, and it is specially sent to the county officials to be built, and it is not easy for us to enter that place."
"How's the defense there?"
"From the outside, there are only four guards guarding the door, and I don't know if there are other defenses inside."
Zhang Chong frowned, and he asked:
"Do you have anyone at the inn? For example, apprentices, concubines, and cooks? ”
The priest shook his head and said:
"Originally, there were, but yesterday the people at the inn were replaced. Now it's dark inside, too. ”
"Then someone was in the post house before, and the layout of the post house must be known."
The sacrificial grandson took out a piece of silk from his sleeve pocket, and then spread it on the eucalyptus, this is the map of the post house, which he made several concubines of the original post house waste a lot of effort to draw. Most of the other disciples don't know the direction, and they can't tell the reason for the place they stay in every day.
Zhang Chong looked at this picture, which was roughly the style of a floor plan, but it was drawn in a more simple way, but the general layout could also be seen.
This inn is a typical dock layout. The first is the defensive force, with a corner tower in the northwest corner and a corner tower in the southeast corner, which are the commanding heights of the post house. Then there is a row of stables to the west, a row of houses on the second floor to the northeast, and a row of houses to the southeast.
This is the layout of the post station, and then Zhang Chong looked at his situation on the street again. The post house is in the residential area of Dongcheng, facing the street in the east, about a mile away from the east gate.
Seeing Zhang Chong thinking there, the sacrificial grandson thought that he had something to think, so he said:
"What do you think?"
Zhang Chong did not answer directly, but asked the priest:
"This time, I personally led the team, plus Cai Qu and Guo Zu, I also need four horses, and you will help arrange them on the north side of the post house. When I'm done, I'll take people from here. ”
The sacrificial grandson was anxious when he heard this:
"You go by yourself? You are crazy? I always felt that something was wrong with this, and if it was a trap, wouldn't you go and fall into the net? ”
You see, there was Yang Mao first, and then there was Sun Worship, and they were all persuading Zhang Chong to calm down and not to take risks. But why did Zhang Chong insist on going his own way? Could it be that he really lost his mind?
In fact, no, Zhang Chong also knew that he was taking a risk, and with his identity, he should not have been involved in danger again. But whether it was Yang Mao or the sacrificial grandson, they only saw one side, and they didn't think about it in Zhang Chong's situation.
Now although Zhang Chong is the master of the five thousand soldiers, what can he talk about stability? Can you avoid the arrow and hide from the rear? For him, it is too early to talk about stability, and now is the early stage of entrepreneurship, and many things need him to do, so there are not so many follow-up troubles.
For example, this incident of Zhang Dog and Donkey, this matter really can't be faked. Why?
Because Zhang Dog and Donkey are the seventy-five brothers who Zhang Chong swore in the forest, and he swore that he would be in a contract of life and death. If you let someone else kill Zhang Gou and Donkey, then the other old brothers will feel that Zhang Chong is mean and unkind.
Some people will be surprised, this dog and donkey betrayed the group, kill it and kill it, what's the problem?
The person who asked this question obviously did not understand the fickleness of the human heart.
At first, you might think so. But later, when they found out that Zhang Dog and Donkey did not harm the interests of the group, then they would hurt him again.
They will be suspicious that when they can use the old brother, it will be a contract of life and death. You don't need the old brother, so you invite us to die? And if it's someone else who kills the donkey, it's easier to split the group.
Zhang Dog and Donkey is a native of Dasangli, who does Zhang Chong want to kill? Is it from the Da Sanri faction? Or is it from the Jibei faction? Or is it Xue's wall? Whoever does it will leave a tongue.
And Zhang Chong is the leader of this group, and he is also the role of the eldest brother, and only he has the power to decide the life and death of the brothers. Only when he is upright and canonical in his punishment of the dog and donkey will the brothers really feel that there is nothing wrong with this matter. This donkey is really damned!
In fact, this is also the general psychological state of the seventy-five old brothers: it is okay to die in the hands of Zhang Chong, but they are not satisfied with the death in the hands of others.
In the final analysis, Zhang Chong and the others are still just a grass platform team, and the core of the team is united by kindness and righteousness, and the ideal is to act for the sky. They are not yet an established group bound by criminal law, and at this time human favor is greater than the law.
This is also where people like Zhang Chong have a difficult start.
For example, the children of Haoqiang, they had a group at the beginning, and at that time the top and bottom were already established, and Enwei was on its own. In the future, you just need to take the team to become bigger and stronger. And the son of a Qianshou like Zhang Chong has nothing.
When building the core team, he had no clan to rely on or relatives to help, he just entangled a group of beggars and brought them together with kindness.
Therefore, Zhang Chong must be moral and fair in doing things, so that he can always obey the brothers. This is not only Zhang Chong's attraction to everyone, but also everyone's discipline for Zhang Chong.
It was Zhang Chong who knew the stakes in this, so he had to hoe the rape himself. Otherwise, it is not enough to intimidate; Otherwise, it is not enough to soothe people's hearts.
After that, Zhang Chong and the sacrificial grandson discussed it a few more times, checked and filled in the gaps, and then planned to carry it out tonight. The matter of hoeing and rape cannot be delayed.
-------------------------------
Twilight, East Pingling, Pingling Post House.
At this time, the whole neighborhood has been quiet, only the post house is still brightly lit and noisy.
At this time, a banquet was being held in the post house, and it was the local heroes of Dongpingling who were feasting the county officials. Because it is time for the annual count, the officials of their Dongpingling will have to count the data of these subordinate counties, and they will also rush to Luoyang to complete the year's counting.
But that's all over, and the county planners who have completed the task at this moment are staggering and enjoying the prosperity of the big city. There is vocal music, singing and dancing, the food is rich, and the characters are polite, this is a big city, not comparable to the county and the countryside.
The hall is full of celebrities, and the hall is strictly cleaned and killed. From time to time, I saw the soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the hall, and they were heavily guarded.
Among them, two samurai stood out, one fat and the other strong, dressed in the armor of a county soldier and holding a halberd, standing by a portal.
Take a closer look at these two people, aren't they Zhang Chong's second generals, Cai Qu and Guo Zu?
How did they get here?
In fact, Zhang Chong and a few of them have already mixed into the post house through this feast. Cai Qu and Guo Zu divided the outfits of the county guards and pretended to be patrol guards, while Zhang Chong and other Taiping Taoists in Dongpingling had their own clothes.
As soon as everyone came in, they had their own division of labor. Zhang Chong took the Taiping Daoists of Dongpingling, who were familiar with the post house, to find out which house Zhang Dog and Donkey were in, while Cai Qu and Guo Zu were outside to see the direction of the wind.
Originally, everything went well, but Cai Qu and Guo Zu were born strong, and they were arranged by several county officials to enter the inner hall as halberd bearers.
The reason why they have not been recognized as fakes until now is not how well these two people played. It is because these Dongpingling county soldiers are all newly recruited, and they generally do not know the generals and will not know the soldiers.
And the county officials who knew each other, seeing that these two people came with the county officials, thought that they were the officials of the Dongping Ling Xiangguo Mansion, and they didn't dare to care.
In this way, Cai Qu and Guo Zu took a halberd and became the halberd bearer.
And because of the majesty of these two lives, it has caused those drunk and powerful old men to look sideways frequently. Some of them took advantage of the wine, and they came down to pat Cai Qu's stomach and touch Guo Zu's chest, looking intoxicated.
These people even pretended to accidentally pull their runes on the ground, hoping that Cai Qu and Guo Zu were informed, and they could hold the runes to the mansion.
Cai Qu and Guo Zu did not squint and were unmoved. They didn't dare to think about it at all, and prayed in their hearts that Qu Kui could finish the work sooner, and when the time came, they would see that the two of them would not tear up these pickled old gangsters.
And what is Zhang Chong doing?
He took three Dongpingling believers to the northeast area of the post house in the dark, to find out where Zhang Dog and Donkey lived.
But they searched for a long time, but they still didn't have any eyebrows. Just when time was running out, things took a turn for the worse.
They had just pried open another doorway, and were about to touch it to see if it was a donkey. Suddenly, I heard footsteps from upstairs.
Zhang Chong and the four of them immediately turned around and hid in the dark.
After a while, two apprentices came out of the building, they held a basin, and complained to each other as they walked:
"You said that the man is too, and he has to eat beef at this time, how can he get this thing."
"Don't you know, this day, the kitchen temple killed the cow with a broken head and leg, and it was going to be burned for the nobles who feasted in the front hall. I'll give him some later. ”
A disciple who heard this looked distressed:
"These nobles will also be lowly animals, where are the broken legs of the cow, they have not been broken. And there are people upstairs, I don't look like a nobleman, everyone is white, and they are powdered. His dark appearance is quite similar to ours. ”
"Who knows, anyway, the post chief asked us to listen to him, and this beef still has to be delivered."
In this way, the two joked with each other and went all the way to the back kitchen temple.
And Zhang Chong, who was hiding in the dark, finally knew where Zhang Dog and Donkey were.
